| Maclean's MagazineBrian D. JohnsonLike its vain Queen, it's so enamored of its own mirror image that it's hard to see past the style and get lost in the story. But as sheer spectacle, it delivers the goods. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThe film has the DNA of a blockbuster and the soul of a haunting folk tale. It is as dangerous, dark, intelligent and beautiful as its wraithlike villainess. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanA tastefully overbearing franchise fairy tale with a handful of ravishing touches. |
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeySnow White & The Huntsman is a satisfying start to what may become a long-running series. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThere's a lot to appreciate, and a lot to ignore in a movie that needed a more experienced director to properly pull off. |
| ScreenAnarchyJason GorberMore puzzling than it is unwatchable, squandering some really quite exceptional moments under the weight of a dreary and dull tale. |
| Digital JournalSarah GopaulSnow White and the Huntsman takes the ageless fable, and makes it dark and exhausting. |
| E! OnlinePeter ParasThe costumes are wicked cool, the special effects impress, and the finale is sufficiently rousing, but the script takes no chances with characters that are all good or all bad. |
| NerdistLuke Y. Thompson...the celluloid equivalent of a wicked queen in this equation, a soulless predator undeniably easy on the eyes that longs to be all-powerful, and can only attempt to be so by sucking the life out of everything nearby. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternAn evil spell nearly does Snow White in, but it's lifted in the nick of time. The strangest spell afflicts Kristen Stewart; she can't seem to imbue Snow White with anything more than a semblance of feeling. That spell never lifts, but it doesn't make much difference in the end because the forces of good manage to work around it. |
